Per CNN and Slate, neither of which I trust much. I'll wait for the med records to be released. It's certainly possible Wilson's friend was incorrect.

Of course, people will use this information to say, "see, he wasn't injured or in fear for his life!"

But you do not deny there was a substantial injury?

There was a video shown on HLN where they believe Wilson and another cop are standing near the body, talking. Not once is he shown holding his face, pointing to his face, or appearing to be in any pain or distress. IF that cop was even Wilson, which even HLN didn't positively know when I saw it aired.

CNN Video

Here's the video from Piaget Crenshaw.

Like how she narrates what Officer Wilson must be thinking or talking about. Also helps that the autopsy was released before she released the video. Whereas too many other "witnesses" were found to have lied by claiming Wilson shot MB in the back, she was able to correctly state he was grazed in the arm....hard to see that from her vantage point...and then shot in the front.

Unfortunately, her story is at odds with another person at the scene, a black guy who is overheard on video saying MB rushed at the officer.

Again, if the evidence shows the officer was wrong then he should be arrested and put on trial.

Meanwhile, the actual residents of Ferguson were helping to clean up during the day and were peaceful in their protests.

There is a reason that the powers that be want us divided. So they wont lose their jobs. If we all ever unite, they will be without jobs.
